What does your desktop look like? - V.2

May 12, 2005, 3:42 am
I know there was an old thread by Hitman about this. Hence why I named this thread "V.2". But, that almost a year ago, and I don't think it should be revived, considering more than 75% of the images in the thread don't work, aren't hosted, or can't be directly linked.

So just show it off.

Incase you are strangely unfamiliar with how to take a screenshot (I am not sure how come you wouldn't know by now) here is how:

I. Next to your F12 Key, press Print Screen.
II. Open up your image editing program.
III. Press Ctrl + V, or press paste.
IV. Go to 'File -- Save'
V. Find a image hosting website, such as photobucket.

Here is mine:

By the way, n00bface is a trendwhore because he uses FireFox, Winamp, and AIM. ZOMG TRENDWHORE X100000!!!!@!@@ But I use FireFox and Winamp, too. :(

Edit: lmao @ how many songs Dan has.

By the way, really nice desktop, Iowa.

i DO have winamp, but i dont really use it. im about to un-install it. Windows Media Player 10 is so much better than winamp, everyone just uses winamp because they are all trend[IMAGE] who wont take a chance to tryout WMP. ive found that WMP has much nicer features, an easier to use interface and better sound quality when you have the right plug-ins (DFX).

WMP doesn't have global hotkeys unfortunatly. Even if they do indeed have ctrl+alt global hotkeys, my keyboard's media buttons still doesn't work with it. Not to mention winamp uses up less CPU, looks nicer, has better skins, better playlist management, and more plugins (I use a crapload of plugins.) And it's more user friendly, and not created by Microsoft. Not to mention Winamp has way better support.

EDIT: I have recently discovered winamp does have DFX. and that there are plug-ins for monitoring folders, if the one i've decided to use works well. then i will use winamp.

Yes, there are plugins for that. Even if there weren't plugins for it (Which there are), creating winamp plugins is incredibly easy. I also already have sound-enhancing plugins and all my audio files are over 192kbps quality, along with my Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 4 pro sound card and Sennheiser HD650 headphones, I don't think "DFX" will make a difference at all.

EDIT EDIT: AND DOCTOR SBAITSO!! That guy was so cool! His name stood for...Sound Blaster Artificial Intelligence Text to Speech Operator. He was made like those old text interface games where you typed in a command and the character does something, BUT HE SPOKE TO YOU!! I don't know if you guys realize how incredible it was that, not only could the computer come up with rudimentary responses to your comments and questions, but you could actually hear his voice through your speakers. That was the most awesome piece of technology that year...and now we have mp3s as a direct result.

Jesus. Those of you who missed out on this stuff really skipped a lot of what made this generation what it is.
